Ahmadis believe that no one has the right to expel a ‘kalima go’ and claiming to be a muslim, a non-muslim. Thats why we ahmadis call non-ahmadis as non-ahmadi muslims. We don’t say that non-ahmadis are not entitled to offer namaz, hajj, fast and do other islamic rites. We admit their rights to follow their religion as per their beliefs but they DON’T.
regarding ‘kufr’, one of the hadith says (not the exact words but still it spells it out clearly)
“Anyone who left namaz intentionally, comitted kufr”. there are others as well that regard ‘shirk’ as kufr. it doesn’t mean one who left namaz is outside the pale of islam.
In short, to be a muslim, one only needs to say and believe that ‘there is no god but Allah and Mohammad (pbuh) is his messenger’. No one can become ‘thekedaar’ of religion and decide who is in and who is outside the pale of islam. such matters will be decided by Allah on the day of judgement. enough said.
As an answer to your post above. I am giving you a scanned referance from a book written by your khalifa. no comments are required. I think it is telling you what i meant.
This is typically an Illmi discussion, no bad feeling in your heart about me. thx
